NEW YORK � San Antonio's Bruce Bowen was suspended one game by the NBA on today for kicking Chris Paul, ending his consecutive games streak at 500.
Bowen began his streak, the longest in the NBA, on Feb. 28, 2002. He has started every game since but will miss the Spurs' visit to Detroit on Friday night.
The altercation happened after Paul was called for a foul with 5:15 left in the third quarter of the Spurs' 100-75 loss to New Orleans on Wednesday.
Besides his streak, Bowen will lose about $373,000.
